Hi
I am currently travelling around Australia but will be home mid-August and plan to do a 3 month course with Failte Ireland with which i'll receive a weekly grant. I will be finished at the end of November but plan to start another 3 month course on January 1st. However this is a private course and I won't be able to get a grant for it. Unless I get a few weeks work in between the two courses, I won't have worked for 4 months by the time the 2nd course is over and I will also have to take out a loan to pay for the 2nd course. When I come back to Ireland, I will have been away for a year so do you think I would be able to apply to go on the dole, even though I won't be actively looking for work apart from the month in between the 2 courses? I have paid PRSI for about 6-7 years before I went travelling.
Any help anyone could give me on this issue would be great
Thanks
